Clinton Kisses Up

Bill Clinton didn't do much to stop global warming when he was the world's most powerful man. But now that he wants a job as the world's most prominent bureaucrat, he's kissing up to the UN dandies whom he needs to impress, and distancing himself from American policy. I doubt Clinton will become chief of the UN - that job has been traditionally reserved for career bureaucrats from small, neutral nations, not powerful politicians who have reached the pinacle of power in a P-5 country. To illustrate my point: do you think the U.S. would approve of Vladimir Putin or Jacque Chirac heading the UN ten years down the road? I thought not.
